Impt Software for computer idiots
I realise tat not a lot of ppl know wat software is required for the usual internet surfing n gaming. Jus bought a notebook recently cos my desktop keeps giving me problems.. jus in case I do not hv a computer to use. N realli suay suay, my desktop died on the day I decided to go for the PC show... haha. thinking back, it's so so so coincident!
B4 using my laptop, I kinda re-format my desktop once every 2-3months. Mainly, I wanted to keep the free 3-mths norton antivirus =p. I guess many ppl told me tat it's so troublesome to re-format their PC.. but tis keep my pc free from spyware, adware, etc.. cos I m a P I R A T E mah..... well, the impt software which I recommend to my family n frens r:
1) divx player - get divx codec. Very impt as these codec r required to watch various video format. Comes with player too, but I prefer the real alternative player layout
2) real alternative - can watch almost all video format. If tis doesn't work, try vlc
3) vlc - another video player, my 2nd choice.
4) Java - for internet banking mostly
5) Adobe flash player 9 - for watching online anime or video clips.. like naruto n bleach =)
6) Winrar - compatible for opening all compressed files. trust me tis is free n good
7) Star downloader - free, very good download software which u can continue ur dl if it's disconnected. tested n proven!
8) live messenger - msn messenger, nv like the original one which comes with windows xp.. super lousy....
9) shock wave player - hmmm... forgot the name, but I install it so tat my nephew Kyan can play his cartoon network games.. =X
10) Nero - disk-burning program. If u r using notwbook, tis is not required as most notebooks oredi hv the burning program installed. Nero from web r the trial version. if u need it, let me know, as I hv the non-trial version..
All above r the programs which I will always install for my PC. If u r thinking of cleaning up ur PC, try my way yourself, see how it goes. Not the best, but still reasonable to keep ur activities going.
